>> 1.2 The Functional Structure of the <strong>EDP</strong> Group’s<br />
Holding Company<br />
<strong>EDP</strong>’s activities are organised in accordance with the<br />
functions and responsibilities determined by the<br />
Executive Committee that establishes the Group’s<br />
structure and the sharing of duties between the various<br />

This structure comprises a number of general managers,<br />
assistants and consultants of the Board of Directors, as<br />
well as a Corporate Centre organised into Offices and<br />
Co-ordination Areas.<br />
During 2003, <strong>EDP</strong> implemented major changes<br />
designed to improve its efficiency and to enhance<br />
its relations with Group companies, as well as its<br />
co-ordination and control. A decision was there<strong>for</strong>e taken<br />
to set up six new structures to support the Executive<br />
Committee.<br />
• Within the scope of direct support to the chairman of the<br />
Executive Committee a position of Office Manager of the<br />
Chairman of the Executive Committee was created;<br />

• A Quality Office was set up to monitor not only the<br />
quality of the service provided to the customers of the<br />
companies of the <strong>EDP</strong> Group but also internal quality in<br />
terms of the professional satisfaction of its employees:<br />
• The Energy Planning Office was created to study<br />
alternative scenarios <strong>for</strong> the evolution of supply and<br />
demand at Iberian level, thus contributing to better<br />
decision-taking in terms of the Group’s operational<br />
production strategy; and<br />
• Also set up were the Iberian Articulation Office and the<br />
Brazil Link Office, essentially to promote the<br />
progressive integration of common activities having a<br />
different geographic base and closer approach between<br />
the differing cultures of the various group companies.<br />
During 2003, a project began to restructure the Corporate<br />
Centre, the aim of which is to turn the holding company<br />
into a more flexible, lighter structure. Essentially, in<br />
addition to the <strong>for</strong>mation of the new offices described<br />
above, the internal structure of each office, their duties<br />
and their objectives were studied. This study concluded<br />
early in <strong>2004</strong> and is currently being implemented, will<br />
allow the transfer of several responsibilities between the<br />
holding company, <strong>EDP</strong> Valor and various <strong>business</strong> units<br />
to optimise their functions and procedures. In keeping<br />
with the new organisation, the holding company will have<br />
only essential and added-value services, while it will<br />
strengthen its role in defining the strategy implemented<br />
by the <strong>business</strong> units:<br />
The central structure providing support to decision<br />
processes is now as follows:<br />
